Throughout the week we’ll get into more detail on who excelled from specific groups and in specific areas, but first, we’re going to look at who the best overall Kentucky players were on Sunday, plain and simple.
*Disclaimer: I was only at the expo for the first game and a half before leaving for a prior commitment. I did not see every player at camp. I only saw about 55-60 campers. This list is going to miss quite a few talented players.
Lele Nguyen, Ryle – I’d never even heard her name before Sunday and she really impressed me with a terrific skill level and the ability to finish around the rim despite being smaller. Lele has a really good handle and made smart plays. Consider me a fan!
Saniyah Shelton Saniyah Shelton 5'8" | SG Bowling Green | 2023 State KY , Bowling Green – Saniyah is a name that’s been in our rankings for a while and she backed it up on Sunday. She played with a motor and did a little bit of everything for her squad.
Jakayla Thompson Jakayla Thompson 5'9" | CG DuPont Manual | 2023 State KY , Manual – Jakayla had the whole offensive skill set on display and working yesterday. She scored inside. She scored outside. She made smart passes and didn’t try to do too much. A good showing for sure.
Tyra Flowers Tyra Flowers 5'10" | SF George Rogers Clark | 2022 State KY , George Rogers Clark – Tyra is a strong forward who can play inside and out but what impressed me was how hard she was playing yesterday. Flowers hustled after every loose ball and battled for every rebound.
Kennedy Lee, Manual – One of our top ranked players in the state, Kennedy showed some offensive versatility and was excellent rebounding the ball. Her ceiling as a prospect is way up there.
Lexie Moore Lexie Moore 5'9" | SG Owen County | 2022 State KY , Owen County – Just a pure scorer, Lexie takes and makes big shots regardless of who is defending her. She was also able to showcase some playmaking with the ball in her hands.
Sarah Baker Sarah Baker 6'2" | C Ryle | 2024 State KY , Ryle – Baker may have been my favorite prospect that I saw. She has great size but isn’t really a post. More of a stretch or face up 4 thanks to her skill level. She also guarded Kennedy Lee on defense and held her own against an older player. I think Sarah is the real deal and a potentially massive recruit in 2024.
Trinity Rowe Trinity Rowe 5'7" | PG Pikeville | 2024 State KY , Pikeville – She’s just now a freshman even though it seems like she’s played varsity for a decade. Trinity showcased tight ballhandling and excellent finishing skills. When we have 2024 rankings, Rowe should be in the top 10.
Amiya Jenkins Amiya Jenkins 5'10" | SF Anderson County | 2022 State KY , Anderson County – Amiya makes things look easy. She had a rough start in her first game but got better with each rotation. Jenkins is skilled and athletic and is the top player in our 2022 rankings for a reason.
Allison Wallace Allison Wallace 5'9" | SF Frederick Douglass | 2022 State KY , Frederick Douglass – My first time seeing her play and I was impressed. Wallace is wired to score and showed that ability on Sunday but she also does more than just score. She’s a well rounded prospect and definitely was missed in our last batch of rankings.
